Tank vs Mingo

Look I get it. Stroud and Young will be linked for the entirety of their careers. Stroud looks like the best rookie in a decade and Young has struggled in an offense devoid of talent. 

A lot of people here like to say I’m coping with my defense of young. I, like most rational people, just refuse to grade him until the situation around him improves. It is fair to say that he’s been underwhelming and has not elevated the team around him like he should be expected to do as a #1 overall pick. 

I would like us to move beyond the QBs for a moment. We took a WR in the 2nd round. The Texans took one in the 3rd. Just like Stroud vs Young, Mingo and Tank also appear as if we made the wrong decision there. 

Tank was a highly productive WR in college and Mingo appears to be a jag. Fast forward to the NFL and Tank’s production is showing up again, while Mingo again looks like a jag. You can blame Young for this, you can blame Frank, but that’s just what it is. 

I’m sure you can point out choices like this all over our roster. Fitt just simply hasn’t been able to build a roster that can compete with any consistency. Hopefully we move on from him in the offseason as well.

But is it Young that is making Mingo look like a JAG, or is he just a JAG? Or is it the offensive system that has stifled any ability for either player to make plays? Or is it all of the above? We've got a feedback loop at the moment where every individual piece of the system is sucking, and simultaneously causing other pieces to suck. It's a death spiral. 

We simply won't be able to evaluate anyone effectively until conditions change under a new staff.

this argument to me is funny, you recognize fitt sucks at scouting and drafting players but yet you are still 100% on board that he nailed the young pick.  Goddamn this logic

Well it’s simple. I believed in Young before the pick was made. I never thought Mingo was anything special. Bryce would have been the pick no matter who was picking at 1.
 

But again you seem to be fascinated with Bryce for some strange reason. Can’t imagine what that could be. Maybe Mr. Completely not feeling so complete?

I mean Mingo was a jag in college. Bryce was not.

Chart is not mine, found on reddit.  PFF grades so take with a grain of salt but...

 

Mingo gets poor separation and has some of the worst catch point & YAC in the league.  Actually all of our receivers that are not Adam Thielen have very poor separation. 

 

Tank is up there with some high performing WRs.

Mingo is getting better, we will see how he ends up. But I will say, him not knowing where he is on the field at times is infuriating. That drop where he pretty much kept running through the sideline and swung his whole body around to attempt to catch it to drop it and be out of bounds at the same time…..
 

…I don’t think I’ve seen anything like it. I guess one could argue he thought Bryce would drop him a toe tapper leaning out of bounds but if he stops at the sideline on that and waits for the ball, he probably had 10 more yards up the field for a big play.

We can compare all we want but I’m exhausted of the comparisons between our players and others at this point. We have who we have, at least he’s shown some improvement. I’ll make my decision on him next year.

At no point in the OP does he say he 100% believes fitt nailed the pick. He's saying it's too early to write him off. You're the one that comes into every one of these threads and removes all nuance from the discussion speaking in absolutes about the future of a rookie who hasn't even finished his first season.

You can be disappointed and still have hope he can turn it around when we get a competent offense in here. It is like a personal vendetta you have against Bryce and you want to be right at all costs so you can justify how miserable you are.

I'm ok with the Mingo pick based on how the team is scouting with analytics.  I wish they weren't so analytics driven though. 

Bryce needs a good team around him, he isn't going to elevate anyone, the offense they want to run with him from Alabama needs all-pro's outside at skill positions.  

 

I don't get why he was the number 1 qb prospect.  All these things show up in his college tape. 

 

Bad footwork

Doesn't throw on time and goes off schedule too much when it isn't needed.  

Bad reading of blitzes and where he needs protection. 

Small and thin 

Arm strength average 

 

None of that screams number 1 pick.

Just best to ignore whatever that guy says. If he's not Carolina-chuck then he's a close relative or at the very least, his next door neighbor

How on earth do you read “refusing to make a judgement on him until the situation improves” and take “100% on board that he nailed the Young pick” out of it???????

 

Lmao this board

      Completely agreed.  TBH, we have had so many great players that are in my favorite list, and I hate to narrow it down to one, but Cam is it.  Which is crazy, because you would think it would be more of the guys I grew up watching, but no.  Cam was the single most impactful player to ever out on a football uniform imo.  And like I said in an earlier post, I always felt a kinship with him in a lot of ways…  the way he was treated and judged for the off the field stuff in Florida and having to overcome all of that and fight show at back.  And although I am not a black man, I have always been welcomed by and accepted more by minorities, and thus, I know what it’s like to be judged by appearances rather than the content of your character and who you actually are.  I know what it’s like to be stereotyped and written off or mistreated for your mistakes.  I know what it’s like to be held to a different standard while your peers don’t have to meet that same standard.  So I always related to that.  And the way he came in and just electrified the whole franchise, man…  I still think about it often how much it sucks that because of how talented he was, our staff out so much on him and that ultimately cut his career short.  You’re right, there will never be another Cam…  I think Josh Allen is the closest thing we will see for a long time, but Allen is not the running threat Cam was.  Cam could run you over or around you.  That was THE absolute funnest time to watch our team ever.

      Bryce Young now leads the NFL in game-winning drives since his debut

      It definitely needs more specificity than is baked in now.

      The weirdest encounter I had with a pro athlete was waiting in line at security at Mile High Stadium when I used to get the company suite tickets almost every week because I was the only employee based in Colorado. There's a small checkpoint accessing the suites that virtually no one knows about that you can usually squirt right through. I was standing there and looked over my shoulder and there stands John fuging Elway waiting in line behind me.  This was during the The Golden Calf of Bristol season right before he became GM. I just said "They make YOU go through security?" He's like "Yeah, ain't that a bitch. I literally have a statue out front and I gotta go through security like everybody else." I've heard mixed things about him but he was super nice and down to earth with me that day.
